数学教学中融入数学文化与数学建模思想之探索

Introducing Mathematics Culture and Mathematical Modeling Into The College Mathematics Curriculum

在大学数学教学中积极融入数学文化,利用数学建模课、大学生创新计划和数学文化专题讲座来传承数学文化;特别是针对文理科的不同特点,分别对文理科学生开设数学文化课,这些方法措施形成了数学文化传承与数学建模的立体化网络,它们相辅相成,互为补充,最大程度的使尽可能多的学生接受数学文化的熏陶。在调研省内外20多所院校的基础上,打破几十年《大学数学》课程一贯制的传统模式,构建融"高等数学、数学文化、数学建模"为一炉的综合《大学数学》,对于提高大学生的学习能力、实践能力和创新能力,全面推进大学生文化素质教育具有重要的意义。

Introducing mathematics culture into the college mathematics curriculum can ensure maximum exposure of the students to the culture of mathematics. This integration can be realized through such complementary course components as a mathematical modeling unit, student innovative projects, and particularly mathematics culture lectures tailed to the needs of both science and technology students and students of humanities and social sciences. Based on the findings of a survey of more than 20 institutions of higher learning, the author claims that a comprehensive college mathematics curriculum that combines advanced mathematics, culture of mathematics and mathematical modeling is ideal for developing students study skills, practical skills, and creative skills thus improving the quality of general education in general.
